For Cardio Health, over the counter natural products are available to anyone interested in optimal nutrition heart health and Cardio Boost Liquid L-Arginine.

L-Arginine, a semi essential amino acid, is the major component for cardiovascular protection.

The recommended dosage for L- Arginine is 5 grams or 5000 mg daily.

According to a Nobel Prize Laureate, Dr. Louis Ignarro M.D. Ph. D. L-Citrulline is another essential ingredient, as it enhances the synthesis of additional L-Arginine in the body.

Cardio Supplement Calories should be minimal, the sources all natural and vegetable. Pills, capsules, and tablets often do not allow for a high level of absorption or assimilation, so Liquid Arginine liquid forms of vitamins are best.

What is Arginine? or L-Arginine?

Arginine the Magic Bullet

Dr. Elizabeth Owings M.D.

.
Arginine is an amino acid, which means it is a building-block of protein. Even though we do obtain some arginine from the protein in our diets, and some is actually made in the body as a by-product of metabolism, there is not enough made to release the power of this amino acid to improve our health.
.
You see, what a chemist calls “L-arginine”, and the rest of us just call “arginine”, is used by the body to make nitric oxide. Most people abbreviate it “NO”, for short. NO disappears in a few seconds, yet it is responsible for relaxing blood vessels, improving blood flow, melting away cholesterol plaque, and even killing germs. This molecule is so important to health that it was named “Molecule of the Year” in 1992, and in 1998 the Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded to the researchers who identified this “magic bullet.”
.
Despite its life-enhancing properties, few people know about NO or where it comes from. Most doctors don’t even know what this incredible molecule can do for health. Yet the AP press release for the Nobel Prize winners stated that “the body uses nitric oxide gas to make blood vessels relax and widen—a finding that could pay off in treatments for heart disease.”
.
The problem with “heart disease” isn’t the heart—it is the blood flow to the heart. Stroke is not caused by problems with the brain, it is caused by poor blood flow to the brain, and loss of brain tissue due to that poor flow. People with diabetes know the risks of poor blood flow to the legs, can result in amputations and a lifetime of disability. Even 90% of erectile dysfunction is due to poor blood flow! Imagine a “magic bullet” which could support the blood flow throughout the entire body!
.
How can you put this remarkable science to work in your body? Increasing your arginine intake will increase your production of nitric oxide, since the only thing the body requires to make this substance is arginine. Experts agree we need at least 5,000 mg of supplemental arginine for our bodies to benefit from this wonderful science.

Why Liquid Agrinine Supplement?

2009-07-21T14:16:00.000-07:00

.
· First of all, there are many formulas of Arginine on the market today. I recommend looking for the free-form of Liquid Arginine.

This is Arginine in its purest state…100% pure Arginine with no additives. Free-form amino acids need no digestion and are absorbed directly into the blood stream.

If it just says Arginine on the label, chances are it is Arginine Hydrochloride or Arginine HCL, which is 73% Arginine and 27% Hydrochloride. The question is, if the label says 5 grams of Arginine HCL, does it really mean 3.65 grams of Arginine and 1.35 grams of Hydrochloride?

Then there is a barrage of other forms of Arginine like Arginine Pyroglutamate or Arginine Aspartate. These are formulas that contain only 50% Arginine and 50% of the other ingredient, so you are not really getting the full dose of Arginine you may be looking for.

· Second, Arginine can be purchased in tablet, capsule, powder or liquid form.

Always look for Arginine in either a liquid form or a powder form, which becomes a liquid once it is dissolved in water.

Liquid Arginine Supplement always provides the best absorption of Arginine.

It is a lot easier swallowing an ounce or two of a liquid arginine, than swallowing a handful of pills. And the pills must pass the digestion process and according to the Physicians’ Desk Reference are only 15-30% absorbed at best.

When purchasing a powder, make sure that it dissolves properly and you are not throwing some of it down the drain.

When purchasing a liquid arginine, be aware that it needs to be refrigerated once the seal is broken on the bottle, which can be an inconvenience to a traveler.
.

.

· Next, make sure the formula you pick has a combination of L-Citrulline and antioxidants.

This is very important, when arginine converts to nitric oxide in the blood stream, the NO gas created is very oxidizing and can be damaging to cells.

But with proper antioxidants mixed in the formula, this oxidizing effect is averted.

Citrulline is the only other amino acid that works synergistically with arginine. Beware of other formulas that contain other amino acids because they will block the absorption of arginine.
